Wednesday Overnight Open Thread - July 30, 2025 [TRex]

Good evening Horde. The time has come for mid-week shenanigans of the overnight variety.

Welcome to the Wednesday night ONT. Pull up a chair and sit a spell. Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors.

Wholesome content:

I know what's happening and there are still parts of this that move too fast for my eyes and brain.

Real? I have my suspicions. But could be!

Strange things at Aldi. I can see why its time might be limited, but I would like to know what makes it a "premium buy."

Ouch.

The odds of an amphibious moose attack may be low but are never zero.

Bottom story of the week: Blue Angels sued over free speech rights related to cat's death

The U.S. Navy Blue Angels are being sued for violating constitutional free speech rights after their performances allegedly terrorized a woman's pet to death.

The lawsuit begins with Lombardi, the plaintiff, describing how the U.S. Navy terrorized her "daughter," "silenced a citizen's free speech" and "brought disgrace upon the uniform." The "daughter" in question is her pet cat named Layla, who was suffering from a heart condition.

Lombardi described the training exercises as "auditory carpet bombing" and "state-sanctioned acoustic torture."

"Auditory carpet bombing." We call that the sound of freedom.

Come on. Really?

Golfer makes world record dream come true by sticking over 700 tees in her hair

A golfer who dreamed of breaking a world record knew exactly what to do after seeing Joel Strasser shove record numbers of things into his beard.

Anya Bannasch (USA) was inspired by her fellow American to break the record for most golf tees in the hair - managing an incredible 711 of them when she took the challenge on in Carlsbad, California, on 9 November 2024.

It was Joel's many records, including most candy canes in a beard (187) and most beard baubles in a beard (710) that spurred her on to finally fulfill her childhood dream.

The 45-year-old was aiming to get at least 400 tees in her hair and almost doubled it.

The Pittsburgh police scanner keeps giving. Thank you people of Pittsburgh (but please take better care of your gubs and ammo)!

The Fabulous Thunderbirds for the big ONT finish:

There is no truth to the rumor that TRex has signed a modeling contract with American Eagle. Written correspondence can be sent to moronhobbies at protonmail dot com. Are you lurking ?? Thank you for your attention to this matter.
